Somebody on Vancouver Island is trying to foil Green Party Leader Elizabeth May’s bid to get re-elected in the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands.

More than a dozen election campaign signs have been defaced and destroyed, and some volunteers said they’ve even been threatened while installing them, according to Green Party volunteer coordinator Mark McInnes.

“Some of the vandalism we can expect from teenagers because it’s close to the street side and it’s easy for people to get to,” McInnes said. “Some of them though, it definitely takes a lot more effort. It’s a more concerted effort to try to tear those ones down.”
